I have now done alot more work on this all, including merging the
virtinst code.
The source code layout is now thus:
* All the python programs:
src/virt-manager.in
src/virt-manager-tui.in
src/virt-install
src/virt-image
src/virt-clone
src/virt-convert
* What used to be the virtinst/ APIs
src/virtManager/installer/*.py
* What used to be the virtconv APIs
src/virtManager/convertor/*.py
* What used to be the virtManagerTui APIs
src/virtManager/newt/*.py
* Any API which uses the Gtk library
src/virtManager/gtk/*.py
* Remaining code shared between GTK & Newt UIs
src/virtManager/*.py
The test suite from virtinst is in tests/ as before.
Due to splicing the history of python-virtinst into the virt-manager
GIT repository, it isn't practical to git send-email this patch
series (unless you want to receive an email flood with every single
previous virtinst commit :-). So I have prepared a branch with the
code
https://gitorious.org/~berrange/virt-tools/virt-manager-staging/commits/gobject
In terms of RPMS we get:
virt-manager - The GTK frontend & virtManager.gtk modules
virt-manager-tui - The Newt frontend & virtManger.newt modules
virt-manager-common - virtManager.installer, virtManager.convertor
and virtManager modules. Also PO files
virt-install - The text based scripts (obsoletes/provides python-virtinst)
Regards,
Daniel
